DEPARTMENT NEWS
Winter 2023 Registration Opens THIS WEEK!
Students should now have access to Schedule Builder to look at Winter 2023 courses and schedules. PSY/CD has a few classes with atypical enrollment processes.
CD 302 Developmental Science Technology Lab (limited to 20 students): This course is open to CD students with senior standing who have anticipated graduation dates of Winter 2023, Spring 2023 or Summer 2023. Celia Magee (cemagee@calpoly.edu) will provide permission numbers to eligible students, please request a permission number in advance of your registration appointment so that you can use your # to enroll during the 1st Round window if space permits.
Fieldwork Internships: Students anticipating doing a fieldwork internship should already be underway in this process (see below). Class codes to enroll in internships will be provided in Week 9. Use this first round of registration to enroll in your other courses.
Fieldwork Internships for Winter 2023
Reminder: For senior students planning to graduate in Winter, Spring or Summer 2023 -- you should have received an email inviting you to join the PSY/CD Field Internship Orientation on Canvas—please accept the invitation if you have not yet done so. This Orientation introduces students to the current list of fieldwork sites and describes the process for securing field internship placements and enrolling in PSY/CD 453 or 454 for Winter 2023.
Note: Even if you plan to continue at the same field site for PSY or CD 454 next quarter, you need to take part in this Orientation and complete the Interest Survey to secure your placement.
If you are eligible and have not received this invitation, please email Celia Magee at cemagee@calpoly.edu.
Research Internships for Winter 2023
Senior PSY/CD students who are planning to graduate in Winter, Spring, or Summer 2023 may find opportunities to work within faculty research labs as a research intern. These positions are limited. Arranging a research internship is initiated by the student. Interested students will need to talk to individual faculty members about availability of research intern positions. A listing of current research interests can be found on the department website (Faculty Research Interests).
Research internships can count as one or both of the required internship experiences (CD/PSY 448 or CD/PSY 449). To enroll in a research internship, students must have completed Research Methods (PSY 329 or CD 329) and, possibly, Quantitative Research Methods (PSY 333) depending on the research internship supervisor.
